Interviewing is a crucial part of our hiring process. As we get to know you better, you will have the chance to get to know us better, too. Our interview process is designed to play to the strengths of our ideal candidate. We will ask you technical questions that require complex thought and ask you to talk us through your process as you problem solve. We want you to be prepared and confident in each stage of the interview process so you are able to show us your very best work. In anticipation of our recruitment process, we’ve outlined how to prepare and what to expect. step 1 Online Technical Assessment After we review your application you will be asked to complete a short online test designed to assess your knowledge of relevant subjects such as probability, data analysis, and algorithms. The assessment is 10 multiple choice questions of varying difficulty and you will be given 40 minutes to complete it. interview tips Quiet Space You will want to be in a quiet place where you can work uninterrupted for 40 minutes. Materials Have paper and pens or anything else you might need to work out your answers. Good Internet Connection Have a reliable internet connection while taking the online assessment. Search Engines Are Not Helpful The questions and answers have been constructed so that the answers are not easily ‘searchable.’ step 2 2-Part Technical Problem Solving Interview Once you’ve passed the online assessment, you will be invited to schedule an interview with a few of our team members. The majority of these interviews will be conducted over Skype (or phone if there are issues with the internet connection) and will last approximately 2 hours. There will be two 50-minute interviews, with a 10-minute break in between. This is a technical interview rather than a personal one. Your interviewer will first ask you a few basic questions regarding your academic and professional experience and projects based on your resume. After that, you will be asked a series of questions designed to further test your knowledge and abilities in probability, logic, algorithms, and other relevant subjects. Please remember that our interviewer wants you to succeed and that talking with them and explaining your understanding of the problem as you go will give you the best possible chance of success. interview tips Prepare These problems are similar in form to the questions from the online assessment but significantly more difficult. We want to be sure you have adequate time so we recommend that you give yourself at least 4 days to review the subjects at hand. Show Your Work As you work through the questions, we would like you to "show your work" by talking through your thought process step by step with your interviewer. As you talk through your thought process, we will be able to give you feedback on whether you're headed in the right direction. step 3 Group Interview You will be asked to interview with 2-3 other members of the team. This interview is a typical personnel interview and you will not be asked to solve the type of technical problems you worked on in the first two rounds. This is a chance for members of our team to get to know you better and to ask you about your professional and academic experiences and qualifications along with some general knowledge concepts. This is also an opportunity for you to ask us any questions you might have about the company. interview tips Be Curious We encourage you to be curious and ask questions during the interview process. Check-In When you arrive at our office, you will be welcomed by our receptionist and they will notify the team you have arrived. Dress Comfortably Our team members wear Vancouver business casual attire and we recommend you do too. step 4 Interview with the Portfolio Manager - Practical Problem Solving This stage of interviews is conducted by our portfolio manager. This interview will focus on problem-solving involving math and statistical analysis combined with practical application to real-world problems. interview tips Be Confident You have passed 3 rounds of interviews already so feel confident moving forward. step 5 In-Person Interview to Meet the Team The final stage of interviews is in-person at our Vancouver office. You will spend half a day with the portfolio manager and our team members to get a sense of our working culture. If you are currently not living in Vancouver, we will cover travel and accommodation costs for you to come here. interview tips Be Yourself This is a chance for you, the portfolio manager, and our team to get to know one another and get a sense of whether we are a good fit for you. step 6 Offer Made. If you’ve made it this far, congratulations! You have impressed us through a strenuous interview process and we consider you among the best of the best.
